Product Details |
Product Description
From Amazon.com
There have been many articles over the years about the benefits of composting for gardeners, but living in the city without a yard, this reviewer never really thought it was something that would apply to me with my handful of flower boxes and potted plants outside. Joke's on me! This book tells you everything you need to know about composting and household refuse, and most importantly, how to get STARTED, and will be enough to convince you to finally get organized and go for it.
Product Description
Over 500,000 copies of this useful book have been sold in the first nine printings. This new second edition contains new graphics, the latest information on composting and household refuse, and descriptions of the most current tools available to help readers get started with their own composting program.

This book is like having a neighbor show us how to compost., Nov 24 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backyard Composting: Your Complete Guide to Recycling Yard Clippings (Paperback)
How do we demystify the simple act of home composting? This easy to read book is the next best thing to having a helpful neighbor show us how to compost. During my past 10 years as a compost evangelist, I have conducted home composting workshops for thousands of people. Backyard Composting is often distributed by sponsoring agencies for public education and included with the purchase of a compost bin. I like the way this book combines basic how-to's and a holistic perspective of how compost fits in to the notion of sustainability, recycling, and permaculture.

excellent for beginners, Nov 14 2004
By J. Duman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backyard Composting: Your Complete Guide to Recycling Yard Clippings (Paperback)
Earlier this summer I developed an interest in gardening, and especially the at-home composting. I found that this book was recommended to me more than any other.
I picked it up at my local library and was surprised at how thorough it was. After all, who knew that there were so many methods to composting?
This book helped me to quickly and easily set up my first compost pile, which is coming along great. It even has tips for indoor composters!
